Justin Verlander said his second career no-hitter felt “just as good as the first” after the Detroit Tigers righthander allowed just one baserunner on an eighth-inning walk in a 9-0 win over the Toronto Blue Jays.

The New York Yankees failed to overcome a 7-0 deficit in the first two innings against the Minnesota Twins, yet stayed atop the American League East as the Boston Red Sox lost to the Kansas City Royals.
